Basin and sub-basin

.The entire district forms part of Cauvery river basin. 1.3 Drainage

The entire district forms part of Cauvery river basin. Cauvery is the major, and the only perennial river in the district. The northern branch of Cauvery, known as Coleroon is mainly a flood carried, while the southern branch retains the name Cauvery. It has numerous tributaries draining the district, the prominent ones of which are Ayyar and Uppar in the north and Koraiyar in the south. Most of the rivers are structurally controlled. The drainage pattern, in general, is dendritic. 1.4 Irrigation Practices

Studies/Activities carried out by CGWB

Detailed systematic hydrogeological studies were taken up for the first time in the district by during 1959-60 in the sedimentary tracts of the district. The occurrence of ground water under both phreatic and confined conditions and the existence of potential deep confined aquifers were brought to light for the first time during these studies. Subsequently systematic hydrogeological surveys were carried out in other parts of the district during 1986-88. Four boreholes were again drilled by CGWB in Cretaceous sediments during 1984-85. Nine production wells and one flowing well have been constructed in the district. In order to strengthen groundwater monitoring network under Hydrology Project, 7 piezometers have been constructed for water level and water quality monitoring. In 2004, 28 well have been constructed through outsourcing in the district to assist State Government in drought proofing work. Monitoring of ground water levels and water quality is being carried out by Central Ground Water Board since 1972 through a network of Hydrograph Stations. Under Central Sector Scheme, technical and financial assistance were rendered for the execution a sub surface dyke across Siruganur Odai for an estimate of Rs 13.0 Lakhs.

RAINFALL AND CLIMATE

The normal annual rainfall over the district varies from about 730 mm to about 900 mm. It is the minimum around Musiri (731.9 mm) in the western part. It gradually increases towards north, east and south and reaches a maximum around Manapparai (908.5 mm) The district enjoys a tropical climate. The period from April to June is generally hot and dry. The weather is pleasant during the period from November to January. Usually mornings are more humid than afternoons. The relative humidity varies between 50 and 85% in the mornings while in the afternoon it varies between 70 and 92%. 3.0 3.1 GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SOIL TYPES Geomorphology

The entire Tiruchchirappalli district constitutes a peneplain. The Kolli Hills in the north-western part and Pachchamalai Hills in the north-eastern parts of the distrinct constitute the remnants of the denuded Eastern Ghats and rise to a heights of more than 100 m above Mean Sea Level. From these hills, the land slopes gently toward east and forms a vast stretch of plain country. There are numerous small residual hillocks dotting the countryside, the most prominent one of which is the Rock Fort hill in Tiruchchirappalli town. The area northeast of Tiruchchirappalli is in an active stage of erosion and shows typical bad land topography. The master slope of the district is towards east. The prominent geomorphic units identified in the district through interpretation of Satellite Imagery are 1) Alluvial Plains, 2) Valley Fills, 3) Buried Pediments, 4) shallow Pediments, 5) Pediments and 6) Structural Hills. The alluvial plains are confined to the northern bank of Cauvery River in the district. Valley fill deposits are seen mainly in the northern part adjoining the hillocks in Uppiliapuram and Thuraiyur blocks. Buried Pediments have been identified in almost all blocks in the district except Marungapuri, Manapparai, Vaiyampatti and Manikandam. Pediments, both shallow and deep, constitute the most prominent geomorphic unit in the district and are evenly distributed in the entire district. Structural hills, on the other hand, are confined to the northern and southwestern borders of the district. 3.2 Soils

The major soil types encountered in the district are black cotton soils, red sandy to loamy soils and alluvial soils. A thin layer of red sandy soils overlies the western and southern parts of the district. Alluvial soils of considerable thickness occur in the central part, particularly in Tiruchchirappalli, Kulithalai, Musiri and Lalgudi taluks. Black cotton soils are observed in the northern part., whereas red loamy soils occur in the hilly regions.

4.0 4.1

GROUND WATER SCENARIO Hydrogeology

The major part of the district is underlain by Archaean crystalline metamorphic complex. The important aquifer systems encountered in the district are classified into i) ii) Fissured, fractured and weathered crystalline formations consisting of charnockites, Granite Gneisses and Unconsolidated and semi-consolidated formations.

The unconsolidated and semi consolidated formations in the district include shales, sandstones and clays of Jurassic age (Upper Gondwana), marine sediment of Cretaceous age, sandstones of Tertiary age and Recent alluvial formations. As the Gondwana formations are well compacted and poorly jointed, the movement of ground water in these formations is mostly restricted to shallow levels. Ground water occurs under phreatic to semi confined conditions in the inter-granular pore spaces in sands and sandstones and the bedding planes and thin fractures in shales. In the area underlain by Cretaceous sediments, ground water development is rather poor due to the rugged nature of the terrain and the poor quality of the formation water. Quaternary formations comprising mainly sands, clays and gravels are confined to major drainage courses in the district. The maximum thickness of alluvium is 30 m whereas the average thickness is about 15 m. Ground water in these formations is being developed by means of dug wells and filter points. The water bearing properties of crystalline formations which lack primary porosity depend on the extent of development of secondary intergranular porosity either through weathered or fracturing. These aquifers are highly heterogeneous in nature due to variations in lithology, texture and structural features even within short distances. Ground water generally occurs under phreatic conditions in the weathered mantle and under semi-confined conditions in the fissured and fractured zones at deeper levels. The thickness of weathered zone in the district is in the range of 2 to 25 m. The prominent lineaments trend in E-SW, NNE-SSW, NW-SE and E-W directions. Some of these fracture zones persist to depths and may form potential aquifers in the area. Productive joints have been encountered down to a depth of about 100 m bgl in the wells drilled for rural water supply by the Ground Water Department and Tamil Nadu water Supply and Drainage Board. The yield of these wells at the time of drilling and development ranged from less than 1 to 10 lps. The depth of drilling in the district through outsourcing for drought proofing work was in the range of 92 to 200 m bgl. The wells encountered three to five fracture zones with two fracture zones down to 50 m and two fracture zones in the depth range of 100 150 m and one fracture zone deeper than 150 m. The yield of these wells varied from <1 to 9 lps. Dug wells are used extract groundwater from weathered formation while deeper fractures are tapped through bore wells and dug cum bore wells. 7

The yield of large diameter wells in the district, tapping the weathered mantle of crystalline rocks or the unconsolidated formations ranges from 200 to 900 lpm for drawdowns ranging from 0.4 to 2.5 m. The wells tapping the deep seated fracture system can yield about 1 5 lps and can sustain a pumping of 6-8 hrs a day. The depth to water level during pre monsoon (May 2006) in the district varied from 1.95 to 9.49 m bgl. Out of 17 wells, 6% of wells had depth to water level in the range of 0- 2 m bgl, 47% in the range of 2 5 m bgl and 10 20 m bgl. The depth to water level during post monsoon (Jan 2007) varied from 1.6 to 15.15 m bgl and 5% of wells had depth to water level in the range of 0- 2 m bgl and 58% of the wells in the range of 2 5 m bgl. 26% of the wells had depth to water level in the range of 5 - 10 m bgl and 10% of the wells had the depth to water level in the range of 10 - 20 m bgl. 4.1.1 Long Term Fluctuation (1998-2007) Period Rise (m) Fall (m) Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum 8.99 1.53 1.53

Ground Water Quality

Ground water in phreatic aquifers in Tiruchchirappalli district, in general, is colourless, odourless and slightly alkaline in nature. The electrical conductivity of ground water in phreatic zone (in Microsiemens at 25o C) during May 2006 was in the range of 570 to 4550 S/cm and major parts of the district are having the electrical conductivity above 1700 S/cm. It is observed that in general the ground water is suitable for drinking and domestic uses in respect of all the constituents except Fluoride of higher concentration at Siruganallur (1.85 mg/L) and at few places are having higher concentration of NO3 than BIS permissible limit. 4.4 Status of Ground Water Development

The estimation of groundwater resources for the district has shown that out of 14 blocks, 4 blocks are categorized as over exploited and 1 block as Critical and rest is Safe. Dug wells are the most common ground water abstraction structures used for irrigation in the district. The yield of dug wells range from less than 50 to 200 m3/day in weathered crystalline rocks, 20 to 100 m3/day in Gondwana formations and up to 400 m3/day in recent alluvial formations along major drainage courses. The yields of dug wells in crystalline and Gondwana formations are improved at favourable locations by construction of extension bores which are 20 to 40 m deep. In recent years, a few bore wells have also been drilled by farmers for irrigation purposes. The bore wells down to a 9

depth 150 m may encounter 3 -4 fracture zones and may yield between <1 to 9 lps may sustain the pumping of 8 10 hrs a day. Based on the data on ground water abstraction structures and area under irrigation from ground water, the average unit draft of dug wells and bore wells have been computed as 0.47 ha.m and 0.86 ha.m respectively 5.0 5.1 GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Groundwater Development

In view of the heterogeneity of the crystalline formation and poor yield prospects in the Gondwana sediments, scientific source finding methods may be employed to site wells for planning further development of available ground water resources in the district. The map showing the development prospects for the district is shown in Plate VI. 5.2 Water Conservation and Artificial Recharge On the basis of experimental studies, it has been found that desilting of existing tanks followed by percolation pond with recharge wells//recharge shafts are economical. Accordingly, computations have been made for Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP), over exploited and critical blocks in the districts warranting immediate attention. A summary giving the availability of surface run off, number of structures feasible and cost estimates for the schemes is provided in the table.

GROUNDWATER RELATED ISSUES & PROBLEMS

Based on the high level of ground water development in 5 blocks, it is inferred that in these parts of the district could be considered vulnerable to water level depletion. The heterogeneity of the crystalline formation and poor yield prospects in Gondwana sediments make the availability groundwater for further development site specific and scientific methods may employed for siting of wells. 7.0 AWARENESS & TRAINING ACTIVITY Mass Awareness Campaign (MAP) & Water Management Training Programme (WMTP) by CGWB One Mass Awareness Campaign on Ground Water Management, Regulation & Conservation was organized at Thuraiyur during 2005-2006. The findings of exploration carried out by CGWB, the results of Geophysical investigations for source finding and their limitations, Ground water resource potential of Tiruchchirappalli district, Techniques on Ground water resource management and need for regulation and water conservation were explained to the gathering of 200 people. 8.0 AREA NOTIFIED BY CGWA/SGWA

Central Ground Water Authority has notified Thuraiyur Block in the district for registration of groundwater abstraction structures. Government of Tamil Nadu vide G.O.No. 53 has banned groundwater development for irrigation in the over exploited blocks of Tamil Nadu. The over exploited blocks in this district are as follow. 1. Tattayangarpettai, 2. Thuraiyur, 3. Uppiliyapuram and 4. Manaparai 9.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the high level of ground water development in the above mentioned overexploited blocks, further groundwater development is not envisaged in these blocks and in Musiri, where the groundwater development has Critical stage, the block could be considered vulnerable to water level depletion. The heterogeneity of the crystalline formation and poor yield prospects in Gondwana sediments make the availability groundwater for further development site specific and scientific methods may employed for siting of wells.

On the basis of the experiences in execution of Central Sector Scheme and Demonstrative Projects on artificial recharge, the desilting of existing 12

ponds/tanks will be the most cost effective structures. The provision of recharge wells/shafts in percolation ponds/ check dams will enhance the efficacy of these structures. Rainwater Harvesting has already been made mandatory by the Govt. of Tamil Nadu and people have already made provision for roof top rain water harvesting. However, the efficacy of these structures may be conformed and if any corrections needed may be applied to make these structures effective. Further, artificial recharge structures need to be maintained periodically and it may be given priority for making these structures effective. A concerted effort involving various Government agencies and NGOs can create the necessary awareness among the rural masses. Action plan in this direction with participation of state and central agencies and industrial establishments is recommended.
